Oakwood Dental · Castle Rock, CO

When a cavity strikes, you want a restoration that looks natural and lasts. At Oakwood Dental in Castle Rock, CO, Dr. Brandt Jones and Dr. Michael Zendig place tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your smile.

What Are Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental fillings cost in Castle Rock, CO?
The cost depends on the size of the cavity and tooth location. Oakwood Dental accepts most major insurance plans and offers flexible financing through Cherry. Call our office for an estimate.
Does getting a filling hurt?
No. We use local anesthesia to fully numb the area. Any post-treatment sensitivity is typically mild and resolves within a few days.

What Castle Rock Patients Should Know About Dental Fillings

At Oakwood Dental in Castle Rock, we place only tooth-colored composite resin fillings — no amalgam, no mercury. Composite bonds directly to the tooth, meaning less healthy structure needs to be removed before placement. The resin is matched to your tooth shade, so the restoration is virtually invisible even on front teeth. Most fillings are completed in a single 30-to-60-minute visit.

Decay that reaches the inner dentin layer progresses faster and eventually infects the pulp, turning a simple filling into a root canal situation. That’s why Oakwood Dental emphasizes catching cavities early at routine dental exams and cleanings — before you feel a thing. Patients from Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Franktown, and Parker trust us for honest, conservative care: we fill what’s necessary and monitor what’s borderline rather than over-treating.

Most PPO dental insurance plans cover composite fillings at 80% after your deductible, making them affordable for most patients. For those without insurance, Oakwood Dental’s in-house membership plan reduces filling costs significantly. We’re happy to review your benefits before your appointment so there are no billing surprises.

How do I know if I have a cavity?
Cavities are often painless in their early stages — which is exactly why routine x-rays matter. Common signs when they do cause symptoms include sensitivity to cold or sweet foods, visible dark spots on the tooth, or a rough edge you can feel with your tongue. If you notice any of these, call Oakwood Dental at 303-688-3860 for a same-week exam.
How long do composite fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, composite fillings typically last 7-10 years before needing replacement. Grinding your teeth (bruxism) can shorten filling life. Oakwood Dental checks all existing restorations at every exam and will let you know if a filling is showing wear before it becomes a problem.
Can old silver (amalgam) fillings be replaced with tooth-colored ones?
Yes. Many Castle Rock patients ask to have outdated silver fillings replaced with tooth-colored composite. We remove the old filling, clean the area, and place a new composite restoration in the same visit. This is purely elective and may not be covered by insurance, but the aesthetic improvement is significant.
